Dog Treats- Never Use This Ingredient!

I have a weakness…my dog’s sad, pleading eyes. When I’m snacking on a tasty treat, it’s very difficult to not give my dog, Sam, just a taste. Unfortunately, many of the seemingly harmless “people foods” that we enjoy can wreak havoc on your poor, unsuspecting dog’s health.

For many years now, dog specialists seem to agree that to feed your dog on table scraps can be highly poisonous. As there is a variety of healthy, tasty foods to choose from, great care should be taken not to give foods that can harm your pet. One example being grapes.

Grapes are said to be harmful to the dog’s kidneys and can eventually cause death.

Even though the number of grapes that might be dangerous and poisonous is unknown, eating less than 5 grapes may be very harmful to a dog weighing at least 20 pounds.

What are the signs that your dog has eaten a toxic dose of grapes?

Within 24 hours, vomiting, weakness and diarrhoea may be present. However, these symptoms can start in as little as a few hours. You may also notice that your dog is urinating a lot less. This can be a symptom of his kidneys shutting down.

Is there anything that can be done now?

On suspicion that your dog has consumed some poison found in foods visit your veterinarian immediately. Most likely your dog will be carefully checked and be given plenty of water to drink till this condition is controlled.

To stop this attack do not give your dog “people food”. Get various tasty ingredients (suited for dogs) keeping in mind that this is not just a dog treat but also a healthy tasty snack for your pet.
